Story Behind The Song
The sky belongs to all of us here on planet earth. We might have our feet planted firmly in the soil of our various lands and nations, but we are one - and we hold our heads high in the clouds of humanity. Everything we do affects each other and the planet. As smoke from the recent bushfires in Australia and California shows us, the big blue borderless sky above us is shared by all.

Lyrics
Verse 1
I breathe out. You breathe in.
Where do the wind and the sky begin?
Over the mountains, across the sea,
Sweet, clean air finds its way to me.
Chorus
One sky is my sky
One sky is your sky
One sky is our sky.
The sky is my country too ...
Tag
The sky is my country too.
Verse 2
Tears of fire in every eye.
Red, red sun in a smoky sky
Wherever you go, whatever you do
We all look up and love one big sky too.
Chorus
One sky is my sky
One sky is your sky
One sky is our sky.
The sky is my country too.
Tag
The sky is my country too.
Bridge
The sky belongs to all of us,
Clouds and moon, stardust!
Now ash and flame and embers fall
From a high, wild space that has no walls!
Chorus
One sky is my sky
One sky is your sky
One sky is our sky.
The sky is my country too.
Tag
The sky is my country too (repeat)
